protest before thee that if it depended on me whether

they should be offered or omitted, I would put forth all
my powers to procure and further their being offered.
And were I able now to raise up to thee, of the stones
which are scattered over the earth, most devoted priests,
who should day by day and with glowing fervour offer
to thee this sacrifice of praise, I would most gladly do it.
But, being what I am, I implore thee, O most holy Father,
through Jesus Christ thy Son, to pour into the hearts of all
thy priests, and especially those who might perchance
otherwise offer thee this acceptable sacrifice coldly and
without due recollectedness, the spirit of grace and of
fervour, that they may be enabled to celebrate thy
tremendous Mystery with becoming awe and devotion.
Grant to me, and to all those who are here present with
www.oremusapostolate.com www.oremusapostolate.com
me, that we may join in this most sacred action with

reverence and devotion, so that we may have our portion
in its fruit and effect. I confess to thee, O almighty God,
and to the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, and to all the Saints,
my own sins and those of all the world; and I lay them on
thy sacred Altar, that they may be entirely blotted out by
the virtue of this sacrifice. Do thou deign to grant us this
grace, by that love which held back thy hand from
smiting when thy most beloved Son, thy only Son, was
immolated by the hands of ungodly men. Amen.
As the Mass varies day by day from the Introit to the
Offertory, you may vary your prayers according to your
devotion.
